14:47 for me, this makes the color near the edges more transparent but doesn't make the edge fade out; edge seam is still visible

[@Oceanyax]

moi aussi

[@BuddhaTrixie]

Me as well, my UVs are correct as the textures are panning radially, but the alpha of the emission is not effected as it is in this video, only the underlying base color

[@da_drood-digitalart]

same for me, have you found a solution by any chance?

[@isaacalonsovillegas3444]

A bit late, but the seam is due to voronoi tilling "x" value, if you keep it in integers, it would be fine

[@Jack-hm8pu]

But when you add speed the seam is still there.

[@DaleplayUy]

Hi, great tutorial! To remove the seam you could in blender make the UV with a plannar projection from above, then you should probably change the texture animation for scaling the tile instead of the offset and get a similar effect but seamless.

Thanks a lot! This one was my second choice in the first poll.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Good choice! This one came out better than I expected. New poll soon.

[@alexandrechiasera3178]

I do not know if this is still relevant after almost one year, but one way to fix the seams would be to use the vertex/fragment X and Z position in object space as UV input for the Tiling and offset. Simply because two adjacent vertices/pixels will have similar coordinates whereas the UV of a fragment is not necessarily the same as its neighbor (depending on how we unwrap our mesh on the UV plane). We can then multiply those UVs (vector2) with a tiling/scale value that hereby does not need to be an integer (since we scale the UVs aka the coordinate system). And leaving the Tiling value on the Tiling and Offset node as a unit vector2.

[@da_drood-digitalart]

i wish i was less ignorant and could better understand your solution in order to get rid of those seams *_+

You are an amazing thank you so much for the tutorial. Like a hero :D

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

You're very welcome, thanks for the kind words!

[@patrickdasilva1581]

Very cool effect! You mentioned we could comment about the seam between the toxic flow and the puddle: I looked at some pictures of sewer outlets (ew) and it seems like the most natural thing to do would be to add a sort of white bubbly effect around the seam to make it look splashy. I don't think there's anything you can do with the two meshes you have or with the material that will make this look more realistic. But when it comes to a bubbly animation, having watched a few of your videos I'm sure you can come up with a better result than me!

[@josimar8497]

you're legend! thanks for the tutorial

[@ameybhoyar4672]

Extremely amazing

[@konrad2642]

to get rid of a seam you'd need a custom tileable noise texture instead of generating one Another solution is to unwrap the circle from view but you can't use scrolling at that point and find a solution to scroll the texture from center to the edge

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yeah I was hoping there would be a solution for procedurally generated noises, but it seems a bit more complicated. But thanks a lot for the info/comment.

Hi I don't have the option to categorise my vectors/floats/colours on the side. It's not a huge problem but would anyone know how to solve this? I'm using unity2021.1 universal pipeline. I'm somewhat new to unity so did it change names or something? I've tried looking at forums and googling, cannot find the answer.

[@pixchel6275]

Hey, nice tutorial, I got the hards edge on the puddle, but in the center of the puddle too

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

What is recommended to fix the hard edges is either a mask (something that fades to black) or a voronoi texture instead of the procedural one.

Thank you for this! Shader graph is confusing for me. I'll be using this method to make waterfalls.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Glad I can help and make things a bit clearer. Good luck!

[@FatihTopuz]

I followed the tutorial beginning through 9:58, but my shader just shows pink. I do whatever you do precisely, any idea about why?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Make sure you start with a URP project. That sounds like there's no render pipeline assigned to your graphics settings in the project settings.

[@FatihTopuz]

@@GabrielAguiarProd I don't have just "URP" template like you, but I've opened a 3D Sample Scene (URP) template and removed all assets then started from scratch. Any idea?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

When you open Unity Hub, if you wait a few seconds, URP template will appear, you can click it and it will install. Then you can create new project with URP.

[@FatihTopuz]

@@GabrielAguiarProd I think it was all about Beta version of Unity Hub. Switched back to Production version of Hub, now it works as intended. Thank you for everything :)

[@doltramir]

Looks nice, great results, you told everything we need to do. But you said nothing about WHY we need to do certain thing, exactly those values, and so on.

Hi! Great looking VFX, will this somehow work on HDRP?

I bookmarked your youtube channel

[@guig3000]

About the UV issue, if you scale the X size of UV by 2x and select the cylinder "columns" outside and scale them by -1x and move them inside would it work? Also parabéns pelo vídeo, gostei bastante do efeito final! 😎

[@Maurilustrador]

Awesome video man! How did you fixed the seam on the puddle mesh texture?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

I didn't, It's hidden. But if you use a texture instead of a procedurally generated noise you can fix it. Probably you won't be able to use distortion, but the seam would be gone.

@@GabrielAguiarProd How did you hide it?

Hello!!! How can I create a volume in shadergraph because I want to create a ambient occlusion volume which will be placed inside rooms and darker areas to get rid of ambient light from the sky box.... Any help will be greatly appreciated Thank u

[@gower1973]

You can use the spin tool in Blender to extrude a mesh around an angle, would of saved you a bit of time than doing it manually, Is there any way to feather that hard edge between the two meshes, its the only thing that lets the effect down a bit

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Thanks for the tip, that would have certainly helped. Yes there is. With "Soft Particles", quite hard to explain it here. Or with the alpha mask created around 13:55. But you would need to invert the UVs of the waterfall mesh. That way it would only fade the bottom part. Or, like I did: add particles on top until it's hidden :D

[@abraiyan7984]

If your alpha is not working properly (alpha is not working on the voronoi), make sure you to turn of the option called "Preserve Specular Lighting" in the shader setting in Shader Graph. Spend hours to fix this :v

[@thomascrozelon1648]

In the graph Settings, under Universal, I can't find the depth write option. I have not as many options as you have (probably because i'm using UNITY 2020.3 with shader graph 10.7). Do you have any ideas how to fix the weird glitch when moving the camera?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Try this. Select the Toxic Waterfall material (not the shader) and set the render queue to an higher value like 3001

[@thomascrozelon1648]

I'm not getting the wobble effect, for some reason the entire waterfall moves (excluding the puddle ofc) Any ideas?

Mostly and probably because of the Unity version. I think I mentioned in the video that the wobble only works from Unity 2021 onwards (if my memory doesn't fail me)

[@artemg9753]

The question is always bothering me: what about performance of this kind of shaders? Something in comparecense with texture size of basic diffuse shader for example?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

In comparison, this is a bit heavier. Depending on the platform it would require some adjustments. For pc its fine but for lower end platforms (mobiles) it may need some downgrade (ex remove vertex animation). It also depends on the quantity of objects in the scene and material count.

[@artemg9753]

@@GabrielAguiarProd So, there is no more accurate price for each procedural shader generation node. Only the price of the final texture, plus some generation costs. Ok. Thank You.

[@bosschopper9441]

I may be nitpicking, but as a newcomer to Unity, its hard to keep up with everything you do as the editing makes things go by a lot quicker. Do you have any videos without as much editing, so I can have a slower pace? Thank you for the video.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

I totally understand you perspective, as a beginner it must be hard to follow such advanced topic. You can always slow-down the videos, but that's it. If you are here to copy n paste then go ahead, but if you really wanna learn the art of visual effects or get better, I recommend this courses, specially the beginner ones: www.udemy.com/user/gabriel-aguiar-3/

[@impheris]

mmm looks cool but also heavy on performance, thanks anyway

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Honestly this isn't much heavy. For example, for pc a few tweeks on the shader would be enough,. For mobiles, cut down vertex count and get rid of the vertex offset and it should be okish.
